Major Development: Banning of Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee
Major development in PoJK. The government just banned the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee—that prominent rights group that’s been protesting everything about rising prices, how things are run, where resources go around. It was a big move.
CNN-News18 got the official notification from the PoJK Home Department. They put the JKJAAC on the First Schedule under the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2014. That’s the official line.
But the real tension is right now. This order claims it was about public safety and security. The government alleges they were causing "fear, chaos and hatred." A threat to public order.
And then there are all the aliases and affiliated groups banned too. Authorities warned that anyone connected to that committee would face serious legal action. It’s a massive legal chokehold.
This notification went out to everyone—the Pakistan Federal Interior Ministry, deputy commissioners, senior police officials across Muzaffarabad, Poonch, Mirpur divisions. The reach is wide.
It all happened just days before the JKJAAC planned their indefinite strike starting June 9th. They were gearing up for that protest because they felt the government had completely failed to honor what they called commitments made under the Muzaffarabad AGreement.
That aGreement, signed after those big protests in September and October of 2025. It was supposed to cover thirty-two points. Lower electricity tariffs, wheat subsidies, royalty payments on hydropower... abolition of elite privileges... all that stuff. A whole list of demands.
Sources inside PoJK are saying a lot of these commitments just aren't being followed up on. That’s what kicked off the fresh unrest across the region.
The leaders of the committee, Shaukat Nawaz Mir leading the charge, had told the government they needed full implementation by May 31st, 2026. Simple deadline.
But talks? They just kept failing. Multiple rounds of meetings between the committee reps and the officials? Nothing came out. Negotiations collapsed. Then the group rejected any official claims that things were improving. They announced the strike anyway. June 9th was set.
The whole point, they argued, is that authorities are dragging their feet on reforms. Ignoring public complaints about inflation, electricity costs, how resources are distributed. It’s systemic exploitation, they claim.
And just before that planned protest, the Awami Action Committee leaders made some really sharp allegations. They suggested the Pakistani establishment could use arrests, disappearances, anti-terror cases, shutting down the internet, and deploying paramilitary forces to crush any dissent.
That's the fear hanging over everything. The threat of force versus peaceful assembly.
Indian intelligence sources are suggesting this ban isn't about safety at all. It looks like an attempt to stop public anger in PoJK using heavy-handed tactics instead of actually fixing the economic and governance problems people are facing.
They claim using anti-terror laws, criminal cases against activists, and restrictions on communication is just copying what they do in other restless parts of Pakistan. They argue that cutting off communication and shutting down protests would just be silencing freedom of expression.
The Joint Awami Action Committee fought back hard against the claims from the authorities. They strongly rejected the idea that most of their demands under the Muzaffarabad AGreement had actually been met.
In a statement, they said reports suggesting dozens of demands were fulfilled were "baseless and fabricated." It’s all just paperwork, empty promises designed to mislead people and sabotage the movement.
They asserted they are speaking for the people of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. People who are exhausted by skyrocketing inflation, economic hardship, and what they see as total systemic exploitation. The rightful voice of Azad Kashmir.
Defending their call for that strike on June 9th, they insisted peaceful protest is a basic democratic right. They warned against any attempts to silence the masses through legal action or force. Peaceful protest isn't stubbornness.
They told the authorities to stop focusing on what they called "false narratives." The government needs to deliver real relief. Not just hollow announcements if stability is going to be restored in the region at all.
